Beanie

Beanie Ski hats are knitted beanie hats or caps. These are close-fitting knit or crocheted caps, usually made of wool, synthetic material, or fleece. These beanies are available in different colors, such as pink, navy, olive, charcoal, marron, black, and so on. They can be worn by both men and women, though they are more commonly worn by men. A beanie is a small, brimless skullcap. It may sometimes have a small brim. The beanie historically was a blue-collar laborer's working hat, worn to keep the hair back. Beanies are usually structured from triangular sections of the matreial, joined by a button at the crown and seamed together around the sides. Beanie Ski hats protect the head and ears from cold and chill. They may even be worn as a fashion accessory, and are often heavily branded with the name of the designer, sporting team logo or colours, or other logos or slogans. In Canada, these beanies are called a tuque or toque. The term 'beanie' is used mainly in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Some English-speakers, especially military, refer to beanies as 'watch caps.' In the United States, a beanie ski cap may also be called a 'toboggan,' 'skully,' 'stocking cap,' or 'stevedore cap.'
